DVB-H, or Digital Video Broadcasting for handheld devices, delivers digital broadcast quality TV to your mobile phone. NVIDIA GoForce handheld GPUs provide hardware acceleration for Mobile TV, delivering higher quality visuals than devices using only software, and with less drain on the battery thanks to innovative power saving technologies employed by the GPU. The first of these devices to launch were the Samsung P910 and P920 in Italy, and soon to be available in the US is the Forseer device, designed and manufactured by HTC, and coming to market with Modeo, a subsidiary of Crown Castle International.</i>"<br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/augusto-20060912-foreseer.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/><br /><br />I am excited by this news! The NVIDIA GoForce GPU brings us one step closer to wonders of Digital Video Broadcasting on our mobile handsets. The even better news here, is that this GPU will help power the HTC Foreseer, one device I have been waiting very patently for. :)
